Early life

His surname Iginla means "Big tree" in Yorùbá, his father's native language. His parents separated when he was a baby, and he was raised by his mother and grandparents in the Edmonton suburb of St. Albert. Jarome has a half-brother, Tyler, and a half-sister, Theresa, who was a standout forward for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies before being asked to leave the team due to off-ice issues during the 2007-2008 season.[3]. The youngster's first love was baseball (he was the catcher on the Canadian National Junior team), but also starred in the St. Albert Minor Hockey Association before graduating to juniors. He played goaltender in his first two years of organized hockey, then switched to the right wing, and developed a knack for scoring. Iginla played his entire minor hockey career in St. Albert, which included stints with the Bantam AAA Sabres and the Midget AAA Raiders. It was during the 1992-93 season with the Raiders that Iginla, then an under-age midget player, scored 87 points to lead the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey league (AMHL) in scoring. Following the 1992-93 season with the Raiders, Iginla joined the Kamloops Blazers as a 16 year old.
